Writing is a powerful way of communicating not only with others, but with yourself first. To write is to be yourself. I can’t imagine how you can write and not be true! I understand to some extent how you can not tell the complete truth when you are in a certain situation when you are talking/confronting someone directly. But sitting down and writing is quite different. It is the most beautiful and sincere act of communication with ourselves.
When I sit down and write, I feel how many words, thoughts and ideas appear ineffectually and try to break through at the same time. In the race among themselves, only a few make it to the last synapse of the brain, which “translates” those thoughts into writing. Whereas, my consciousness waits for them until they reach the right goal and cross the threshold to “turn” into writing.
Writing is an internal dialogue with oneself. Even when you are writing for others. How can you not be authentic when you’re talking to yourself? It’s impossible.
But not only that. This process goes even deeper. Through the channel of communication with the self, you connect in parallel with the inner, your higher self, from which you receive one-by-one inspirations.
It is like a summer rain that falls without stopping and suddenly catches you in the middle of the road. You get the best feeling when you surrender and feel each drop (of rain) that hits your body. With increased sensitivity, you start to feel the drops that fall around you: on sidewalks, buildings, on the ground, asphalt. Until you become ONE with the rain. And this feeling continues until the rain ends, until the moment when you become porridge and do not cry your head off about how you look from the outside or how others who are hiding in the shelters inside their buildings see.
Such is the act of expression in writing. Clean, honest, natural, energetic and passionate.
